Minister seeks support for govt

The Minister of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, Mr. Edem Duke, has called on Nigerians to support the government in the areas of tourism, education and other sectors of the economy, adding that development should not be left to the government alone.

Duke made the call when he visited Elizade University and the Smokin Hills Golf Resort, an 18-Hole Golf Resort, in Ilara-Mokin.

He said Nigerians should not be quick to criticise the government, but find ways of contributing to the development of the country.

The Minister praised the Founder of the University and the resort, Chief Michael Ade.Ojo, for establishing the two institutions. He described the university as “beautiful” and the resort, “amazing”, saying both have brought the town to the limelight. He added that the degree programme in Hotel and Tourism Management by the university would give the students opportunity to use the Golf Resort for practicals.

Duke, who was conducted round the campus by Chief Ade-Ojo and principal officers of the Institution, urged the students to make use of the quality facilities to acquire quality education that would give them bright future.
